Fairytale in space? Yes, please! Without much speech, I'm hoping for a loot of knowing looks and eye rolling. Yes, I have a thing sarcastic heroines, speech or no speech. Preferably with a bit of a rebellious attitude.

Richelle Mead is releasing a new project that's not set around Vampire Academy or Bloodlines and I'm beyond excited! VA is one of my favorite series and my expectations for Soundless are through the roof. By the synopsis alone I'm not all that thrilled, but hey, Richelle wrote it so it can't possibly be bad, can it?

For as long as Fei can remember, there has been no sound in her village, where rocky terrain and frequent avalanches prevent residents from self-sustaining. Fei and her people are at the mercy of a zipline that carries food up the treacherous cliffs from Beiguo, a mysterious faraway kingdom.

When villagers begin to lose their sight, deliveries from the zipline shrink and many go hungry. Fei’s home, the people she loves, and her entire existence …

I've never read anything by Cassandra Rose Clarke before, honestly, I've never even heard of her. But I'm not one to pass up a dystopian with a gorgeous cover. I have no idea how I'm going to handle four main characters at the same time unless they team up. A team I can handle. Four separate main characters, whew. I sure hope Cassandra is up for the challenge to make it comprehensible. But I foresee greatness!

I don't read much crime or thriller. I'm not entirely sure which genre Drowning is Inevitable fit into, but whichever it is I don't read much of it. But it sounds too good to turn down!

What's happened lately, all cover designers developed magical abilities?! Every new cover I see out there is drop-dead gorgeous. I mean LOOK AT IT. Magical! As for the book, I'm not completely sold on the sense-gold-superpower but if the world building is as good as in Girl of Fire and Thorns this book ought to be fantastic. Especially with a slow burning romance, the best kind of book romance.

Hyped books are scary! If everybody is raving about a book and seems to love it I always go in with sky high expectations, and having high expectations and being let down is awful!

Books I Will Get Off My Lazy And Read

Click the covers to go to their GR page Allegiant by Veronica Roth has only been sitting on my shelf for a year and a half. I did the very stupid thing and started reading reviews and people didn't love the end. I LOVE the series, I love Tris and Four and I don't want to not love them because of the end. So right now my motto is "Ignorance is bliss". Some time I'll get to it though, it might just take another year and a half.

I've just never gotten around to reading Legend by Marie Lu, it's definitely high on my TBR though!

I've been meaning to read A Child Called It by Dave Pelzer for 10 years! Refiding it for this list means I have to go to the library tomorrow…

I loved Leigh Bardugo's The Gisha series. Well, the first book at least (review here) because that's about how far I've gotten. I've had the second book lying on a shelf for a year and a half and I just haven't gotten to it yet. You know how it is, there's also something new popping up pushing it down on the TBR.

But seriously, with Bardugo's unchallenged ability to create new and awe-inspiring worlds, a mix of Game of Thrones and Ocean's Eleven,how can Six of Crows possibly go wrong?

I'm Debora, the mastermind behind this brainwashing media - aka the fangirl trying to get you to read all of her favourite books and nothing else. I'm a twenty-something Swedish college student with a desire to see the world. I'm a lover of all things sweet and everything that takes place in a kitchen. I'm considered a highly professional procrastinator, probably because I've always got my head in a book. And I blog about my somewhat unhealthy book obsession.
